Dwarf Hammerers

These Dwarf Hammerers were in the displays at Warhammer World.

Dwarf Hammerers

The ultimate defence of a Dwarf hold rests upon its Hammerers, the elite vanguard selected for their exceptional strength, unmatched martial prowess, and unshakeable loyalty. These veterans have proven their mettle across countless gruelling campaigns, earning the prestigious honour of serving as the King’s personal guard. Armed with massive, devastating great hammers, they form an unbreakable wall of muscle and steel, ready to lay down their lives to shield their liege.

Dwarf Ironbreakers

Dwarf Ironbreakers are elite underground sentinels, dedicated to defending the deepest tunnels of the Dwarfen realms from subterranean invasions. They are heavily armoured shock troops, encased in masterfully crafted suits of gromril plate. Etched with ancient runes of protection, this exceptional armour shields them from the unique perils of the deep caverns and the devastating blows of their enemies, allowing them to hold narrow choke points against overwhelming numbers.

Dwarf Longbeards

Forming the stoic foundation of the throng are the Longbeards, the oldest and most battle-tested warriors in the mountain realms.

Dwarf Longbeards

As their name implies, the grand length of their facial hair is a living testament to centuries of survival and warfare. These venerable grumblers command absolute reverence from the younger generations; raised from infancy to honour their elders, the younger Dwarfs listen to their gruff wisdom with profound respect and look to them for unwavering guidance when the battle line begins to waver.

Dwarf Anvil of Doom

Dwarf Anvil of Doom

In times of greatest peril, the Runesmiths bring forth the Anvil of Doom, a relic of unparalleled antiquity and the most sacred of Dwarfen heirlooms. It is upon these ancient surfaces that the legendary rune weapons of myth were originally shaped. Imbued with the primordial magic of the earth, the anvil is a weapon in its own right; by striking its face with meticulous precision, a patient Runelord can awaken the dormant power bound within, channeling a devastating chorus of ancient runes to smite their enemies and bolster their kin.

Dwarf Slayers

Dwarf Slayers are defined by a singular, tragic obsession: to wash away a past dishonour through a magnificent death against a monstrous adversary. Their existence is a relentless hunt for conflict. When the Dwarfen realms march to war, these fierce warriors emerge from self-imposed exile, eager to join their kin and hurl themselves into the thickest fighting where the odds are heaviest.

Dwarf Warriors

Solid, broad, and fiercely resilient, Dwarf Warriors are built for the grind of war.

When they advance, the momentum of their heavily armoured frames hits the enemy like a tidal wave of iron.

With a resounding crash, they shatter enemy defences and plow through formations, leaving only ruin in their wake.

These Dwarf Warriors were on display at Warhammer World.

Dwarf Anvil of Doom

The Dwarf Anvil of Doom is one of the most ancient heirlooms of the Dwarf race. It is on these anvils that the greatest rune weapons have been forged. Each anvil is covered in runes that modern Runesmiths cannot begin to fathom. When striking runes on the anvil, each Runelord uses techniques taught to him by his master that were in turn taught by his master and so on back to the dawn of time. Because of this, no two anvils function in exactly the same way.

This is the model from Warhammer World and GamesDay 2005.

I think it’s interesting that at one time the model was based. Looking at the images, one of them shows the Runelord with his hammer above his shoulder (at Games Day 2005)  and another behind his neck (in Warhammer World).

You can now buy the Anvil of Doom from Games Workshop.

Dwarfen Mountain Holds

These Dwarfs were on display at Warhammer World.

In the grim and perilous world of Warhammer: The Old World, the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, collectively known as the Karaz Ankor in their ancient tongue, stand as bastions of stubborn defiance against a hostile world. These colossal fortresses, carved deep into the living rock of the Worlds Edge Mountains and other ranges, represent the heart of Dwarf civilisation. Far from mere strongholds, they are intricate underground cities, sprawling networks of tunnels, grand halls, and cunningly devised defences, all designed to safeguard the Dwarfs’ immense wealth and ancient traditions.

While many of the once-mighty Holds have fallen to Greenskin incursions, Skaven infestation, or the ravages of Chaos, the Dwarfs are a race defined by their indomitable spirit and their meticulously kept “Book of Grudges.”

Burlok Damminson on pre-order next week

This week we found out that this lovely dwarf miniature  goes on pre-order on the 18th January.

Burlok Damminson was an old dwarf in the era of Karl Franz, but we see him here as a young and impetuous inventor who’s really getting on the nerves of the Engineers’ Guild… He’s armed with several proprietary experimental weapons, and substantially improves nearby ranged units by his very presence.

The model is made of Forge World resin.

Very tempting.

 

Undercoating the Dwarf Engineers

On a recent visit to Warhammer World I purchased a blister pack of four metal Dwarf Engineers.  Within the blister are the four dwarf models, separate weapons and tools, and four 25mm square slottabases. The first thing I did was clean up the models, sorting out casting lines, and the little bits of metal that are on the model from the casting process. I then based the models, I slotted them into the bases and added some sand.

The next stage was a white undercoat.

The next step will be starting to paint the models.
